Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com Releases Explosion Proof LED Light for Refinery and Corrosive Environment Use

KEMP, TEXAS, NOV. 1, 2012 — /PRNewswire/ -- Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com has announced the release of an explosion proof LED light fixture designed specifically for use in locations where wetness and corrosion is an issue. Built to withstand the damaging effects of wet and corrosive conditions often countered in marine and refinery applications, the HALP-48-2L-LED explosion proof LED light provides excellent output and high durability in a low maintenance lighting package. With its non metal construction and fully sealed design, this fixture is ideal for petrochemical and industrial marine applications where durable and effective lighting solutions are needed.
The HALP-48-2L-LED Class 1 Division 2 LED Light from Magnalight.com is well suited for use in the marine and petrochemical industries as a Class 1 Division 2 lighting solution that can withstand the corrosive effects of wet marine environments. Featuring a non-corrosive, glass fiber reinforced polyester housing with poured in cover gasket and an impact resistant acrylic diffuser secured with stainless steel cover latches, this light is designed to stand up to the abusive conditions often encountered in offshore petrochemical operations. These hazardous location lights are fitted with Magnalight's high output LED tube lamps, helping them produce excellent lumen output and color rendering as well as giving them high resistance to damage from vibrations and impacts. Equipped with LED lamps rather than fluorescent tubes, these fixtures require no ballasts, which makes these units lighter in weight and easier to install and service. Additionally, the LED lamps in these fixtures provide longer operating life, with a 50,000+ hour LED life compared to the standard 20,000 hours associated with fluorescent lamps. The HALP-48-2L-LED also provides a lower cost alternative to LED fixtures equipped with integral LED lamps and can be upgraded and re-lamped as easily as traditional fluorescent explosion proof lights. In fixtures where integral LEDs are utilized, the operator must replace the entire fixture when they reach the end of their operating life. With the HALP-48-2L-LED, operators can simply replace the LED tube when it becomes necessary the same as they would a typical fluorescent light. This serviceability also means you can upgrade to higher output lamps as LED designs advance, providing better returns on your investment while allowing you to further increase lighting effectiveness as the technology improves if desired. These explosion proof light fixtures provide even more benefits in the form of lighter weight and reduced maintenance costs, and since fixtures with an integrated LED design cost approximately $1,000 on average, they are substantially more affordable at less than $700.00 per fixture. The HALP-48-2L-LED is UL Class 1 Division 2, Groups A, B, C, D and UL 1598A Marine Type approved and works with voltages ranging from 120V-60hz to 277V-60hz. The HALP-48-2L-LED is a cost effective lighting solution that provides a long list of benefits for operators in petrochemical applications and marine based hazardous locations and offers an affordable yet safe and reliable alternative to traditional fluorescent lamps.
"The HALP-48-2L-LED Class 1 Division 2 fluorescent light is a low cost option for low vibration, hazardous area environments," said Rob Bresnahan with Larson Electronics' Magnalight.com. "We recently completed the first phase of a refinery construction project with these HALP-48-2L-LED and the customer has signed off on a complete replacement of all the fluorescent lights on the facility due to their performance over the last 6 months."

How to convert LED Light for Christmas

In the month leading up to Christmas each year, you likely have a tradition of digging the decorations out of the basement or attic and beginning to make your home more festive. If you've used traditional Christmas lights for years, you'll have to begin the arduous task of determining which bulbs have burned out and need replacing. Perhaps it's time you converted your Christmas decorations to LED bulbs, which offer a multitude of benefits.
1 Determine how many strands, colors and varieties of strings of incandescent bulbs you'll need to replace. Make a list of them.
2 Visit a store that sells LED lights. Replace your old, incandescent lights with LED lighting by purchasing a number of strands, in the appropriate colors. LED lights come in virtually every color and are now made for Christmas decorations on strands that you can hang from the tree, on banisters and almost anywhere else your imagination takes you.
3 Donate your old, incandescent Christmas lights to a local charity or second-hand store to help someone less fortunate afford Christmas lights. If your lights are so old that they are damaged and do not function well, throw them away.
4 Decorate your home with your new, LED Christmas lights by mounting them just as you would incandescent lights. LED Christmas lights are built for both internal and external use, so in addition to decorating the interior of your home, you may wish to add LED light outside, too. Once you've finished, you've converted your home to LED lamp for Christmas, meaning you may never have to replace your Christmas lighting again.
